Digital infrastructure for Language Data in Switzerland: current state and perspectives
June 23 @ 10:30 am - 5:30 pm
The members of the one-year project “Moving towards a national FAIR-compliant ecosystem of Federated Infrastructure for Language Data” (FAIR-FI-LD, co-funded through swissuniversities Open Science I program, Open Research Data) invite interested researchers, data stewards and other experts to attend a workshop dedicated to the existing infrastructure for language data in Switzerland and future perspectives of development. The project members will present their findings and dialogue with further invited speakers to address epistemological and technical challenges of managing and interconnecting digital infrastructure for language data within and beyond Switzerland.
The presentations will regard three topics:
- the design of corpus infrastructure to suit diverse language data and different research paradigms in linguistics and beyond
- case studies featuring recent linguistic corpora collected in Switzerland
- interoperability issues regarding metadata, formats, database design and query languages
The workshop is organised by Johanna Miecznikowski and Elena Battaglia (USI) on behalf of FAIR-FI-LD, which is led by the University of Zurich (CLARIN-CH and LiRI) in collaboration with ZHAW (Digital Discourse Lab) and USI (Istituto di studi italiani, E-Lab).
The event can be attended on site and a registration form will be circulated at a later date.
